made the water so warm that the suckers
and other cold-weather fish are SICK the

floating bodies of the dead ones. These
sick ones work up into the mouths OF the
creeks where the water is cooler, in great
numbers, where they remain almost TOO
sick to move, and in this condition are

are utterly unfit for food. in fact are dan

There were no less than nineteen dogs
in sight from a point ON the Main street
of Woodstock, a few days ago. 1t IS no
wonder that the nights are so often made
intolerable by their hldeous bowling and
barking. fyou are compelled to be on
the streets at late hour your only as
snrance Of safety is pistol or gun, as You
may expect gang of these brutes to fly
out at you at any moment as savagely as
a lot of tigers. 1t is fast becoming very
dangerous Tor ladies to drive or ride
through town even in the daytime on ac-
connt of these worthless dogs, IA they are
sure TO make a rush at the horse and
friehten him until he is fairly unmanage-
able. And with 1t all our authorities
never make a sign. We suppose they are
waiting until some unfortunate lady IS
dashed from a buggy and killed or is
thrown from horse and dragged to death.
